Supposed Loss of Two Vessels and Eighty

from about so miles down the coast reports
having seen the sloop Sara eighteen days
overdue from San Bias loaded with tar
bark and owned by and consigned to Shel

in search of the reported wreck, which, af-
ter running around for number of days
in the vicinity where the vessel was last
seen, returned to Guaynias, having failed to
find any trace of her. The consignees inn
mediately fitted out the steamer Vale and
sent her in search of the sloop. The Vale
has now been out ten days, and it is gen

in sudden squall. The two vessels had
about eighty people on board, all of whom
